it's not your fault man , we all understand.. admitting you have a problem is the 1st step on the road to being normal.
I don't even know. I think I thought of it when I was 10 or so and was heavily into NASCAR Racing by Papyrus, so I wanted something that would indicate that I was quick, or fast, or something. Being 10, I was also into AOL L33t speak at the time, thus why the e was dropped.
Now that I'm not a jackass, because even I've surprised myself looking back at some of this older stuff... There really is a meaning to VA. VirtualAssassin comes from a Tom Clancy book. I was reading it one day and I thought, wow thats cool (of course I was 14 then). I went to make my XBL account and couldn't think of anything, so I just put in VirtualAssassin from the super cool book I was reading... lol..... I wanted for there to be a space in between "Virtual Assassin" but it wouldn't fit and of course being somewhat of an eighth grade grammar fiend, I refused to drop an "S". Presently I really don't like it. I think its a little lame and something I would have liked 5 years ago, but not today. But I don't feel like getting rid of it. One reason being is that I dont play it enough anymore to really care. Plus I'd hate to get rid of it and regret it, so until I stop playing, its VirtualAssassin till the death.
After years and years of reading what were your older posts, I actually grew to despise your name :razz: But in all honesty, I always thought your GT was a great one for things like Xbox Live. Although it wouldn't work for me. Mine would've had to been Virtual Sitting Duck or something since I suck at most games. I don't think you should change it.
Well I choose Rip Winkle due in part to my age, I have been around gaming since the inception of Pong. Yes I owned it, I think I was the first on my block, the graphics rocked, I mean to actually be able to move something on your B&W television…that was awesome. I saved my paper route money to get it, delivering papers in those days wasn’t easy either as the news was inscribed on stone slabs like in the Flintstones. I still remember asking my dad if I could use the ½ ton to do my route. Peace
I guess it is about time I put something in on this one..... Mine is actually a 2 parter... The first part (Musical) is surrounding my various involvments in the music world (wether playing it in HS bands, or as a DJ now) The second part was a "callsign" given to me as a senior in HS when I attended a military avaition camp. Mercury as some of you remember was a greek god that was a messenger with winged boots that was told to be the fastest of them. This callsign was chosen for me due to my involvment in track and cross country.
Mine is simple : Bx from where I was born The Bronx, NY I originally wanted something to rep the Yanks, but all of the names I came up with were taken so I thought of Gangsta and decided to drop off an "A" to make it unique.
Slow Elk is a beer from the Big Sky Brewery in Missoula, Montana. I'm a University of Montana Alum and I spent many a dollars on that Oatmeal stout. Unfortunately, Slow Elk is no longer in production....not to worry though because they still produce Moose Drool, their most popular beer. On a side note: I initially intended for my GT to be numberjohnny5 or Johnny 5 ect ect, but everything I came up with was already taken.
My niece and nephew watch that show so much that even though they live 6 hours away, I still know all the characters names and much of the dialogue from many of the episodes. I always thought the swiper was in reference to stealing a puck or something along that line. You've taken the mystique out of your name for me You could also say that it is just a synonym of your name Rob - Swipe :mrgreen:
sorry to bust the bubble amigo , but that is what it means! my Daughter is now 6 and thinks it's funny that I kept that name.... my son is now 2 and he is into Diego but I am not changing my name to "Baby Jaguar"
my tag is a nickname i had when i started playing hockey. I was the goalie and everyone said i was a broken post everything just hit me cause i wasn't able to move. and the 510 is my sons birthday. So i am brokenpost in hockey lol
Clarke Kid, Last name but "Clarke" was taken so I added Kid case it had a decent ring to it and I know I will never grow up.
